For someone that is passionate
about cooking or just collecting fine things, the world’s most expensive
cookbook may just be the best thing around. The cookbook is called Dom Perignon
and is filled with recipes from the greatest chefs in the United Kingdom
including Tom Aikens, Jean-Christophe Novelli, Marco Pierre White, Michael
Caines, and Angela Hartnett. The book also contains portraits of celebrities
that were done by three famous artists.

Dom Perignon is being sold by a United Kingdom
company called Decanter and it is bound in green leather called Galuchat. The
leather itself is exquisite as it can only come from the hide of a Japanese ray,
a very rare animal. To make it a true collector’s item, there are only thirty
copies in print. Just another reason why this cookbook may be considered one of
the greats and is certainly the most expensive.

The book costs approximately $2,000 USD but there
are unbound copies available for $80 USD. The book can be purchased only through
Decanter.
